2.0 MOUNTING
WARNING: WHEN MOUNTING OUTDOORS, MAKE SURE THAT THE SUPPORT
SYSTEM USED HAS THE PROPER WIND LOAD RATING AND COMPLIES WITH
LOCAL STANDARDS AND CODES.
The MA-series comes standard with a mounting adaptor that accepts a 2” diameter pole and has
2 – 3/8 set screws to lock the unit in place. (Figure 1)
1) To mount the MA-1/MA-2, slide the mount on the emitter head over a 2” OD pipe
(not included).

3.0 FIELD WIRING
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE EQUIPMENT
UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR UNLESS THE AREA IS KNOWN
TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
3.1. Cable Routing
3.1.1. Single- and Multi-Channel Systems
All single- and multi-channel MA-1and MA-2 systems come with a 10-foot long 3/4” flexible
conduit and 11-foot 14 AWG leads. The connection at the end of the conduit requires an
installer-supplied junction box with a rating suitable for the installation environment of the
box. See figure 3 for an example.
Route the conduit to a junction box approved by local electrical codes and standards.
Follow your integrator’s instructions for installing into an appropriate junction system.

3.2. Wiring Diagrams
3.2.1. Single- and Multi-Channel Systems
The single-channel MA-1and double-channel MA-2 have 14 AWG leads coming out of the
speaker as depicted below. The red/black and white/green pairs are used for attaching to
the customer-supplied amplifier or the optional HyperSpike®amplifier kit, and the blue/
yellow and orange/brown pairs are used for a supervision circuit.
The multi-channel MA-1and MA-2 have a red and black twisted pair of 18 AWG wires
coming from each face of the speaker. The total number of pairs coming out of the speaker
will depend on the number of faces populated. Each pair has an impedance of 6 ohms and
a power rating of up to 300 watts. These leads may be attached to a customer-supplied
amplifier or the optional HyperSpike®amplifier kit.
